Enter to Win a Copy of the 'Alinea' Cookbook

I recently ordered a rotary evaporator. One of the main things I want to do is distill frangipani (the delightful flower) oil, with the intent of making frangipani and vanilla ice cream. This might be topped with lemon zest or dried kiwi fruit powder. This is for home use, I might add.

The most interesting thing I have actually made is pizza with a few unusual characteristics:
-imitation buffalo mozzarella, home made (I noticed that 3 liters cow milk, one liter goat milk and 250ml of cow cream has the same fat/protein ratio that buffalo milk has - and similar smell).
-sourdough leavened for 18+ hours (the Italian ones from sourdough.com)
-a simple sauce made from home-grown tomatoes, fish sauce, onion and butter, barely cooked.
-home made bacon or pork sausages (haven't quite progressed to dry cured sausages yet, but chorizo & pepperoni are coming someday)
-basil

Would You Eat Breast Milk Ice Cream?

How could it not taste nice? It is *our* milk.

Someday there will be breasts in labs and we will drink it.

Modernist Cuisine: The Wok Shot

@pgym - An unfortunate choice of words perhaps? I think the point is that it's not computer generated. It is a low-tech use of Photoshop, and is absolutely possible with analogue film. I tend to think it's essentially correct, if not absolutely correct.

The photography process is described on page 85 of the big pdf

Modernist Cuisine: The Wok Shot

These shots are a taken as described, but compiled in Photoshop. The tossed food and the flame on the bottom have come from separate shots.

I think it's a fantastic book. I cook food that most eaters think is traditional but it has a heavy application of science. McGees book is fantastic, but we need more - much much more.

Information is not 'porn'. That is ridiculous.

Animals Eating Friday: Koala Eating a Leaf

Eucalyptus leaves have very little nutrition. Like a Panda, they must eat almost constantly.

@winternutt - nope, kangaroos, bandicoots, possums and many more are all marsupials (have pouches). Perhaps you are thinking of monotremes (egg laying mammals) of which the platypus and echidna are the only survivors.

'Pizza Hacker' and His Amazing Franken-Weber

What's the book coming out he's referring to?

And are there any other books that properly address neapolitan sourdough pizza?

The Case Against Ketchup

Ketchup just doesn't play nice. Once you learn to make a decent tomato sauce, it tastes cheap and nasty anyway.

What's Your Favorite Sandwich?

I've eaten this one every second day for the past month.

1) home made semi dried tomatoes (romas, still moist, about half of the original weight).
2) caramelized onion
3) Traditional aioli (raw garlic, made in the mortar & pestle, evoo only)
4) Some kind of chicken, usually breast
5) Home made sourdough (with an Italian Starter)

Stephanie Alexanders steak sandwich is great http://www.cuisine.com.au/recipe/stephanies-famous-steak-sandwich

Seriously Asian: Burmese Chicken-Coconut Soup

I traveled to Burma once, I loved it. This recipe looks similar to something I ate daily at Inle Lake called the 'Chan Breakfast'. This dish was a soup something like above (less ingredients I think) and greener in colour. I definitely remember chickpea being in it. There were rice noodles in the bottom and the top was drizzled with chili oil and sprinkled with crushed peanuts. Asian porridge I guess. What a way to start the day! I would dearly love to know how to make that. It was always preceded by a quarter of a papaya which came with a couple of limes to crush over it.
